It wouldn't be so bad if the points got refunded. I wouldn't mind a "spec build" of 3 necessary ones for job changes, and this is less of a problem in linkshells in general, but for the average PUG once you've got 3 or 4 jobs with wildly different styles it becomes a serious problem. I understand this is essentially the same as saying "remove the restriction entirely" but even a partial point return would alleviate the general discontent with the system. Maybe they could do a "pay gil to re-specialize" system, or a "once per conquest tally" system?
